Ever Wonder Why?

17 years ago 0 +0 / -0 848

Also makes you wonder how many other ingredients have addictive properties? We know nicotine is the main one, but some of the others may contribute, too. I know from other research that some innocuous ingredients (like sugars) are put in because they enhance the effects of the nicotine when burned! Here's another thought - wonder how much damage these burning chemicals and the smoke contribute to the atmosphere?

Cigarettes Not Smoked

Thanks Mercy, just another reminder of how we should look after our bodies, we only have one to go through life with. When we smoked we were blinded by the facts, we closed our minds to it, Now we have opened our minds and realize the futility of slowly killing ourselves. all the best jeanigirl [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 4/28/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 5 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 70 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $23.75 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 14 [B]Mins:[/B] 6 [B]Seconds:[/B] 48

ok one more for tonight yet..... Cuminaldehyde is a constituent of the essential oils of eucalyptus, myrrh, cassia, cumin and others. It has a pleasant smell and contributes to the aroma of these oils. It is used commercially in perfumes and other cosmetics. WHY on earth would I want to smoke oil????? I don't think I will ever look at ecualyptus the same....come on...cumin? :( And it says it has a pleasant smell.....well, cigerettes sure don't smell good....so I guess this ingredient doesn't work!
